Introduction
Paetrem was rolled up completely randomly, using the restrictions specified in the Unofficial competition. I thought the race/subrace/class combination was extremely lucky so I've decided to carry it through.
Chatter
Not much to say yet - she was just born a minute ago, and I don't have time to play right now. The STR and CON are unbelievable, though, for a Wood-Elf. The wisdom is horrible, which tells me I'll probably ignore Manwe altogether.
Part 1
The first thing Paetrem did was successfully steal a Climbing Set from the Black Market. Oh yes, I can get into this. She now has both tree-walking and mountain-walking - in the Barrow-downs that'll mean escape from even dragons, and in the Orc Caves it'll mean foolproof escape if things get hairy. So Paetrem is whistling happily as she pelts her sling bullets at her enemies. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Wandered north of Bree, killed an ant to gain a level and get ammo creation. Got the first Manwe quest promptly - ha! Killed a bunch of icky things for some conveyance magic, and killed Wormtongue on Level 2 of the Barrow-downs. Did the Thieves quest, got Maggot's mushrooms back. The Maggot quest was tiring (and I did not scum by switching views), but not as difficult as with other characters - gotta love Rangers with their conveyance school and Wood-elves with tree walking. It required lots of mana and lots of tree-resting, but I only needed eight mushrooms so that was OK. Coming up on Barrow-downs level 3 is a FF quest for Novice mindcrafters. The biggest source of concern for me there is lack of rConf, because while I can shoot blindly down a corridor, I cannot shoot accurately while confused.
Part 2
Through the Barrow-downs. The last two levels netted her Colannon and Durandil - the speed and luck boosts are going to be very handy. Next up - Orc Caves, though I'll be scumming Barrow-downs level 10 for rod tips of trap detection. Managed to get herelf locked out of the black market (trying to steal an amulet of the serpents - she doesn't even need rPoison, sheesh!), so will have to use a wooden rod until something better comes along.
At this point, she's got all the basic resists, which is encouraging: usually my characters are missing at least one resist even after they are through the Barrow-downs. However, she still needs free action - hoping to reach Cammithrim before she dies a gruesome death due to paralysis. Still haven't bothered about the Manwe quest. I'll probably wait till Paetrem's clvl50 (if she lives that long) and go do it then. :P
The tentative skill point allocation strategy that I'm currently mulling over involves maxxing archery (no specialisation - though I might change my mind), combat, and conveyance, plus magic device. Hoping for symbiosis at some point, though for the HP only.
Part 3
Very slowly making it through the Orc Caves. Paetrem spent a bit of time scumming Barrow-downs level 10 for a trap detection tip - knocked off Smeagol and Brodda while she was at it. Finally found a rod tip (and a wooden rod, natch), headed for the Orc Caves. Right before recalling from the last trip, ate a Slime Mold off the floor and got the Grow Mold power - w00t! Mountain climbing in the Orc Caves is absolutely priceless. Had an interesting fight with Boldor and friends on Orc Cave 14 - Paetrem shot at him, he woke up and healed himself, and immediately summonned yeeks all around poor Paetrem. So what does she do? Blink away? Read a scroll of teleportation? No. She grows mold.
Amazingly, it works even if you're surrounded by monsters - I never knew that. The yeeks that got summonned on her were too busy fighting off her mold friends, and she made quick work of Boldor in the meantime - he couldn't summon any more as the room was filled with mold and yeeks (it was a small room), and Paetrem lost a grand total of 3 HP in the fight. That was fun. *nods* Once she's through the Orc Caves, I'll send her on to Lothlorien and Mirkwood - need a bit of extra FF goodness before I decide on skill points.
Part 4
Made it through the Orc Caves, offed Azog, got his wand. Currently slogging through Mirkwood slowly but surely. Kit is rounding out nicely, got a good running speed on her and decent stealth. Not much time to play lately, so just doing an update before the "official" deadline - obviously not a winner, but I've still got 2 weeks, heh. Potion of Self Knowledge revealed that she's unlucky - and that's while wielding Durandil! Must find Phial.
